Lead Climbing

Push yourself mentally and physically by learning to lead climb in New Zealand’s premier (and most scenic) sport climbing venue.

This course teaches the essentials for leading bolted sport routes. It is also a must do for people who have learnt from a friend, but want to check they are using good and safe techniques.

We keep our ratios small (1:4 max), so the course is tailored to you. If you have lead climbed before, our instructors will check what you already know. Don’t worry if you don’t have any equipment – we provide all equipment necessary, however you are welcome to use your own if you have it, so you can learn to use your own equipment in safety.

This course covers;

Lead belaying

Quickdraw/runner placement – how to correctly place the quickdraw on your harness and the rock

Clipping methods – efficient ways of clipping the rope into the quickdraw
